…says he’d rather pray he makes heaven
Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has vowed won’t pay ransom to bandits even if they succeed in kidnapping his son.
He said he is so against payment of ransom that he would rather pray his son makes heaven if kidnapped than pay abductors.
The Kaduna governor expressed during a radio interview on Friday.
EL-Rufai said, “I mean it and I will say it again here. Even if my son is kidnapped, I will rather pray for him to make heaven instead because I won’t pay any ransom.”
